"I’m proud to endorse Jacky’s campaign because she’s a fighter we can trust to stand up to special interests, take on the dysfunction and abuse of tax dollars in Washington, and get things done for Nevada,” Biden said in a statement on Friday.

“In Congress, Jacky has worked hard to support our troops and our veterans, speak up for Dreamers, defend good-paying solar jobs, shine a light on sexual harassment in the workplace, and stand up for access to affordable health care,” Biden said. “She’s proven herself as a problem solver who will put aside the partisan bickering to build consensus and find solutions. Jacky is tough, she’s never forgotten where she came from, and Nevada families need her as their next Senator.”

The Chicago native is a former computer programmer, and had zero political experience by the time Harry Reid, the former U.S. Senate majority leader, tapped her to run for the U.S. House seat vacated by Republican Joe Heck in 2016.

The software designer and president of Henderson synagogue narrowly won her House seat. She is considered the most well-known and well-financed Democrat seeking the Senate Seat.

If she wins her primary race in June, she will likely face the GOP-front runner and incumbent, Sen. Dean Heller, R-Nev.

Heller has earned the backing of President Donald Trump, who tweeted support for the sitting Nevada senator in March. That's when Trump also called for Danny Tarkanian to run for a U.S. House seat instead of challenge Heller in the GOP primary for the Senate seat.

"It would be great for the Republican Party of Nevada, and it’s unity if good guy Danny Tarkanian would run for Congress and Dean Heller, who is doing a really good job, could run for Senate unopposed," Trump tweeted.
